Avengers: Endgame trailer shows hope while there are still heroes

The highly-awaited trailer for Marvel's Avengers: Endgame has dropped and it picks up after Thanos wiped out half the life in the universe. Sole survivor in space Tony Stark has run out of food and water and is seemingly lost with no way to get home.

Captain America and Black Widow are assessing the damage done and the next possible move. We see the return of Hawkeye but in is new guise as Ronin, and for some continuity, we see that Scott Lang, AKA Ant-Man has found a way to escape the quantum realm once again and he's come to the Avengers HQ with the Quantum portal van. They say it is always darkest before the dawn and it looks like our heroes are getting ready to re-assemble. Avengers: Endgame comes to theatres April 2019.

Samsung, Huawei tease upcoming all-screen phones with tiny cutouts

Trying to solve the notch issue has some manufacturers flexing their creative muscles a bit. One of the implementations we’re going to be seeing in the coming weeks come from Samsung and Huawei. Both companies have teased images of its upcoming Galaxy A8s and nova 4, respectively. Both sporting tiny cutouts for the front-facing camera, eliminating the need for a notch but still getting an almost full-screen experience sans extra movable parts. We’re going to hear more about these phones when Samsung launches the Galaxy A8s on December 10 (at least according to a post from their Weibo account) and on December 17 when Huawei launches the nova 4.

Bethesda support site for ‘Fallout 76’ leaks customer information

If you think things couldn’t get any worse for Bethesda, well, they just did. The latest issue has customers reporting that they’re getting access to other customers’ personal data when they submit support tickets through Bethesda’s support site. Earlier in the week, Bethesda told customers to file claims on the support site if they’d purchased the Power Armor edition of Fallout 76 and want their canvas bags replaced. What this prompted though, is that some customers got information they shouldn’t have access to, like addresses, emails, and some even partial credit card information. Bethesda resolved the issue after taking the site down for a bit. But there will expectedly be fallout (pun unintended) from this latest trouble and Bethesda has to pick up the pieces once again.

Head down music memory lane with Spotify’s 2018 Wrapped

Spotify has taken off the wraps of its 2018 Wrapped feature. If you’re unfamiliar with it, this annual feature shows its users what music and podcasts they’ve enjoyed over the past year on the service. (In my case, it showed the amount of times, I’ve listened to Shawn Mendes this year.) It’s a fun, shareable infographic that shows what songs, artists, and genres have dominated your account this 2018. At the same time, you get a playlist of your top 100 songs of the year as well as a new Tastebreakers playlist that shows artists and music that should be on your radar. Tastebreakers is based off of the music you listen to. 

This year, Spotify is even sharing some of its listeners Wrapped data in prominent places, like Times Square or London’s Piccadilly Circus. Artists also have a chance to see which of their songs were the most popular by month, total hours of music streamed by fans, and other information.
